Chapter 197 This Result Is a Bit Embarrassing
After Lin Feng arrived at the bookstore, he was shocked again. This is not a bookstore, but a library.
There are dozens of bookshelves in this bookstore. It sells and rents books, and there is a quiet room for reading.
There is also a square in the backyard of the bookstore, where dozens of people are copying books.
After Lin Feng entered the bookstore, he opened a scan.
He scanned all the history books in the bookstore.
There is no book that can describe in detail how this big city was built.
There is only one relatively old book with a record.
The book describes it like this:
In ancient times, demons were rampant on the Shenzhou continent.
The ancestors of the four major families of the Sword Sect realized the world and created martial arts that humans can practice. They led the human race to slay demons and demons, and built ten big cities in the area now controlled by the Sword Sect.
Then the Sword Sect was established to pass on martial arts.
...
Lin Feng knew at a glance that these contents were all false.
How could steel bars and cement be made in ancient times? Not to mention ancient times, there is no such thing as cement in Shenzhou Continent now.
This history is purely the four major families of Jianzong praising themselves.
It seems that the real history is hard to find among the people.
Even if the real history is preserved, it must be hidden inside Jianzong.
Lin Feng wandered around the bookstore for a while. Such a big bookstore didn't sell secret books.
After asking, Lin Feng found out that only Jianzong can sell secret books in the city, and bookstores can only sell ordinary books.
Finally, Lin Feng bought a map of Lingyun Mansion and left the bookstore with the map.
Lin Feng also bought ten pancakes and four side dishes on the street, and the store also gave Lin Feng a food box.
This little thing cost Lin Feng another five taels of silver.
Lin Feng walked back with the food box, and he felt like a delivery man.
Originally, he planned to let Sun Yu run errands with him, but he ended up running errands.
Sun Yu is too lazy. He stays in the house and plays with Xiao Hui every day. You can't take him with you next time you go out.
Lin Feng touched Xiao Jin wrapped around his wrist. The ball on Xiao Jin's body was almost gone. It was estimated that Xiao Jin would wake up in two days.
Lin Feng brought the food back to the inn, and the two of them ate up the food in a short time.
After dinner, Lin Feng dragged Sun Yu out.
"Come with me to the city to have a good look."
"Go by yourself."
"I'll have to bring you food when I come back at night."
"Then can't I not eat at night?"
"No, you must go out with me."
Dong Dong, when the two were pulling, the door was knocked.
Lin Feng opened the door and saw a man in the uniform of the hemp guard standing at the door.
The man looked at Lin Feng and Sun Yu and asked, "Who is General Lin?"
Lin Feng clasped his fists and said, "It's me."
The man outside the door said, "I am Huang Qiufeng, the centurion of the Ma Yiwei in the prefecture city. I came here to invite General Lin to stay at the Ma Yiwei for a while.
Our general said that there is no need to stay in a hotel outside when we are in our own territory."
The general of the Ma Yiwei in the prefecture city has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, and his status in the Ma Yiwei is much higher than his own.
Since the general of the Ma Yiwei in the prefecture city has spoken, he has to give him some face.
"In this case, we should obey your orders."
Lin Feng and his companions packed their things and went downstairs to settle the bill. The inn returned the room fee and deposit in full.
When the two of them left the inn, the centurion of the Ma Yiwei had already lifted the curtain of the carriage.
Lin Feng and his companions got in the carriage, and their war horses were led by the soldiers of the Ma Yiwei.
Sun Yu said, "How come the Ma Yiwei in the prefecture city are more polite than those in the county city? They even sent a carriage to pick us up."
"Maybe the Ma Yiwei in the prefecture city are closer to the core of the Ma Yiwei, so they are not corrupted so quickly and are fair."
Sun Yu scratched his head, "Even if that's the case, I feel they are treating you preferentially."
Lin Feng thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because there are fewer Ma Yiwei who can advance to the prefecture city.
After all, the Ma Yiwei is a newly established organization, and its strength is far less than that of the City Lord's Mansion. I estimate that many Ma Yiwei in the county city can't make it into the top ten and are wiped out in the arena competition."
The facts are similar to what Lin Feng thought.
There are only eight people from the Ma Yiwei among the one hundred winners of the competition in the ten county cities of Lingyun Prefecture.
This result is a bit embarrassing, showing the weakness of the Ma Yiwei nakedly.
Let the top leaders of the Sword Sect see that the strength of the Ma Yiwei is seriously inconsistent with the power in the hands of the Ma Yiwei.
The top leaders of the Sword Sect don't care whether the Mayi Guard is a newly established organization.
It can be predicted that if the Mayi Guard is completely wiped out in the competition in the capital city, then the power of the Mayi Guard will definitely be weakened.
Lin Feng and his companions took a carriage and quickly arrived at the headquarters of the Mayi Guard in the capital city.
Lin Feng felt a sense of déjà vu when he walked into the gate of the Mayi Guard headquarters.
The Mayi Guard headquarters seemed to be built on the basis of an abandoned school, and the playground and stadium were turned into a martial arts field.
The teaching buildings and dormitory buildings that were repaired with wooden materials can still be seen in their original appearance.
In such a discordant scene, the people here did not feel anything wrong.
The blue star where Lin Feng lived in his previous life belonged to a technological civilization, and he saw the abnormality at a glance.
Lin Feng felt itchy in his heart, and he was very curious about how this world went from a technological civilization to a martial arts civilization.
Lin Feng followed the centurion Huang Qiufeng into the main building of the Mayi Guard in the capital city.
The atmosphere in the lobby of the main building was a little solemn.
A middle-aged man in yellow hemp clothes was walking around in the hall, with seven trembling hemp guards standing in front of him.
The middle-aged man in yellow robe saw Lin Feng and said, "The last one has arrived. We only got eight out of a hundred places."
The middle-aged man in yellow robe saw that these people were a little nervous, so he added, "Don't be nervous. I'm not here to blame you today.
You are all heroes of the hemp guards.
You are much better than the brothers in the city."
The middle-aged man in yellow robe pointed to the dozens of people who were being beaten with boards in the distance and said, "Our brothers in the city have made the hemp guards lose face.
We only got two out of a hundred places in the city.
I get angry when I see those guys, and I beat them with boards once a day."
The Adam's apples of several hemp guards in the hall moved when they heard this. The general of the hemp guards in the city was too cruel.
If they lose, will they also be beaten with boards?
Lin Feng remained calm and composed. He did not think he would lose in a competition of the same level.
His goal was not to be in the top ten but to be the first.
The middle-aged man in yellow robe continued, "The day after tomorrow is the day of the competition.
Tell us.
How can I support you? How can you get a place in the competition?
Everyone, please speak freely. As long as the Fucheng Ma Yiwei has something, I can give it to you."
Hearing this, Lin Feng's Adam's apple moved unconsciously.
Lin Feng seemed to see piles of Jiazi Zenggong Dan and martial arts secrets. This opportunity is rare. Should he ask for a lot?
